      Abstract
      Background
      The role of PD-L1 expression in 2nd line and beyond non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains controversial. Camrelizumab (SHR-1210) is a potent anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody and has shown promising activity in NSCLC in Phase I studies. We report results from the SHR-1210-201 study (NCT03085069), a phase II umbrella study of camrelizumab monotherapy in different PD-L1 expression cohorts in Chinese patients with previously treated advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

      Methods
      Patients who progressed during or following platinum-based doublet chemotherapy were enrolled and assigned to one of 4 cohorts based on PD-L1 expression. Patients with EGFR or ALK genomic alterations were eligible provided they had disease progression with at least one approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor and with ≥50% PD-L1 expression in tumor. All enrolled patients received camrelizumab at 200 mg IV Q2W until loss of clinical benefit. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), other endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

      Results
      As of Aug 1st 2018, of all the 259 patients who underwent screen, 229 cases could be pathologically evaluated. PD-L1 expression were 47.6% (109/229) in PD-L1 < 1%, 27.1% (62/229) in PD-L1 1-<25%, 8.7% (20/229) in 25-<50% and 16.6% (38/229) in 50%. A total of 63.8% (146/229) patients were enrolled. 89.0% of patients had stage IV NSCLC and 54.8% had non-squamous tumor histology. ORR was 18.5% (95%CI: 12.6%–25.8%) in ITT population. Subgroup analysis showed increased PD-L1 expression was associated with better response rate (Table 1). No response was observed in patients with EGFR mutation. The responders had durable response (median: 15.1 months; 95%CI: 5.5–not reached). Median PFS was 3.2 months (95%CI: 2.0–3.4) and median OS was 19.4 months (95%CI: 11.6–not reached) (Table 1). Treatment-related adverse events (AEs) occurred in 87.7% of patients (all Grade); 20.5% had ≥G3 related AE; and 15.8% had related SAE. 21.2% of AEs led to dose interruption and 7.5% led to treatment discontinuation.

      Conclusion
      In Chinese patients with previously treated advanced/metastatic NSCLC, camrelizumab demonstrated improved ORR, PFS, and OS compared with historical data of the 2nd line chemotherapy. The efficacy in patients with PD-L1 <1% is similar as the 2nd line mono-chemotherapy, while patients with higher PD-L1 expression derived greater benefit from camrelizumab, the ORR, PFS and OS in patients with PD-L1 ≥25% was comparable to the 1st line doublet chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC. Camrelizumab was well tolerated. This phase 2 data warrant further clinical studies of camrelizumab in NSCLC.

      MA14.05 - A Randomized Phase III Trial of Fruquintinib Versus Placebo in Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (FALUCA) (Now Available) (ID 1490)

      Background

      Fruquintinib, an orally active kinase inhibitor that selectively targets vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor, demonstrated significant benefit in progression-free survival and disease control in a randomized Phase II study in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had failed two lines of chemotherapy. This Phase III FALUCA trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial designed to confirm the efficacy in the same patient population (NCT02691299).

      Method

      From December 2015 to February 2018, 45 clinical centers across China participated in the trial. A total of 730 patients aged 18-75 with advanced NSCLC who had failed two lines of chemotherapy were screened and 527 who met the eligibility criteria were enrolled into the study. Patients were stratified based on epidermal growth factor receptor mutation status and prior use of VEGF inhibitor therapy, and were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive fruquintinib (n=354) or placebo (n=173) once daily in a 3 weeks on/1 week off 4-week cycle. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response. The final data cutoff was on September 21, 2018.

      Result

      Median OS was 8.94 months for fruquintinib and 10.38 months for placebo (hazard ratio, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.816 to 1.283; p=0.841). Median PFS was 3.68 months for fruquintinib comparing to 0.99 months for placebo, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.34; 95%CI, 0.279 to 0.425; p<0.001). The ORR and DCR were 13.8% and 66.7% for fruquintinib, compared with 0.6% and 24.9% for placebo (both p<0.001), respectively. The most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events with fruquintinib (≥grade 3) were hypertension (20.7%), hand-foot syndrome (11.0%), and proteinuria (1.4%). A sensitivity analysis revealed that median OS was significantly prolonged with fruquintinib compared with placebo in patients who received no subsequent systemic anti-tumor therapies (7.00 months versus 5.06 months ; hazard ratio, 0.64; 95%CI, 0.453 to 0.903; p=0.010).

      Conclusion

      The FALUCA trial failed to meet the primary end point of OS while confirming significant benefit in secondary end points including PFS, ORR and DCR. The safety profile of fruquintinib in this patient population was acceptable and consistent with that identified in the Phase II study. A post-hoc sensitivity analysis revealed that the anti-tumor therapies that patients received post disease progression probably contributed to the failure of this study on the primary end point.
